the hammer was my early childhood sports idol and remains my favorite player. but if henry aaron and willie mays had still been in the negro leagues and thought this pill or that woulda helped them get to the bigs, i think they woulda ate 'em like skittles.

Could you imagine the size of the salaries a Mays or Aaron would command in todays world

I remember when Koufax and Drysdale held out together and got the first 100K contracts in MLB from the Dodgers

being an old BB card nerd in my schoolboy days...Aaron was the most consistent of the prolific HR hitters, I don't think he ever topped 50 in a season...I remember the night he hit 715 because he did it against my Dodgers with Al Downing on the hill, he hung a curve ball that didnt curve over the plate and Hank hit it over the left field fence

The proof is there on Bonds,Sosa and Clemens (used to be a huge fan)...its just not the type that holds up in court, but of course Lance Armstrong has taught us that passing a drug test no longer means that you werent taking PED's

Bon, Willie Mays teammate said Willie was a amphetamine user and he saw Willie with them, that is the same proof that is used against others in the steroid area. Aaron's HR totals seemed to compare along the lines of Harmon Killebrews however Killebrew's stats declined (like most players) as he aged, dropping off at age 35, Aaron (like Clemens and Bonds) got better.

Well when it was reported that Sir Lance a shot, patch, cream, or pill might have opened up the possiblility of renewed criminal charges I was so happy. I was hoping he would share a cell with Bubba or Tyrone for a few years. Turns out ol Lance once again has proved smarter than the rest of us........statute of limitations has run out.

Of course not our Bubba. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
